It was evening and the sky was getting dark. The soldiers at the city gate had been replaced by a new shift, and dim lanterns were lit above the gate. Feng Lan could see the armored soldiers on duty on the city wall, holding guns in their hands, standing there one every five meters.
After nine o'clock in the evening, the city gates were closed and the wooden planks used for passage were pulled up. It was obvious that no one would be allowed into the city unless there were special circumstances.
After the tightly closed gate, there was no one down there. Only two tall lanterns hung at the city gate, illuminating a small area in front of the vermilion gate.
On the city wall, only the soldiers on duty had a little light from the lanterns in their hands, and the people standing there held guns in their hands and stood in the darkness. These soldiers were more like a deterrent than guarding against possible invaders.
There were quite a few dotted colorful lights inside the city farther away. Feng Lan also heard a lot of sounds carried by the wind. This was good news, indicating that there was no curfew in the city. As long as she could enter the city wall without being discovered, the probability of being discovered later would be very small.
After ten o'clock, the sky became completely dark, and a not-so-bright crescent moon was faintly visible behind the clouds.
In the dim moonlight, only the vague outline of the city wall could be seen, like a huge gray beast lying in the dark mountains. Because the lights in the city attracted the surrounding animals, many birds flew through the night and occasionally landed on the city wall. The soldiers glanced at them and ignored these little guys.
Feng Lan wore a black dress over her brown shorts to make it easier to sneak, and tied her hair up. She had already figured out the pattern of shift changes tonight.
Feng Lan counted the time and activated [Lihuo Huahong].
At night, without the added bonus of the sun, the speed is slightly slower, but still faster than the human eye and even faster than a bird.
Feng Lan ran down the mountain in just two seconds with his wind-based abilities, and from the bottom of the mountain to the bottom of the city wall, a distance of a hundred meters, in just one second.
The soldiers on the city wall only saw a black shadow flash by and disappeared in the blink of an eye. They stared at the bottom of the wall for a while, but finally found nothing. They only saw darkness, and then they felt relieved, thinking that it was an animal like a flying bird or a wild cat.
Anyway, it is impossible for people to move so fast. There is a hundred-meter blank buffer zone under the city wall. Anyone passing by will definitely be discovered.
After a moment's pause in the blind spot near the bottom of the city wall to confirm that he had not been discovered, Feng Lan took out the item [Camphor Leaves], activated it and inserted it into his hair.
Camphorwood Leaf: A blinding effect. Wearing this will cause you to become invisible for 30 seconds. After five uses, it will disappear. However, you will lose the vision of one eye while becoming invisible.
The city wall is four meters high, the outer wall is smooth, and there are few footholds, so it is difficult for ordinary people to step on it and climb up.
Feng Lan stepped on the wind, and if there was no foothold, she created one herself. After the wind ability pushed her up for a distance, she condensed water balls under her feet and stepped on them to move upwards. After doing this two or three times, Feng Lan climbed over the city wall.
It only took Feng Lan three seconds to get from the base of the wall to the top of the city wall. He landed lightly on the ground and squatted down to cushion his impact. There was a soldier on duty with a gun two meters away from Feng Lan.
Not found.
Feng Lan stood up quietly without making any sound, rushed to the other side, supported himself on the city wall with one hand, and jumped down without hesitation, bringing up a breeze. The wind swirled under his feet and provided a cushion for Feng Lan. Finally, he landed lightly on the ground without stirring up any dust. There were still 21 seconds left for [Camphor Leaves].
"It seemed like a gust of wind just passed by?"
Some soldiers murmured and looked around vigilantly, but saw nothing. So they thought it was another flying bird from somewhere. They continued to look straight ahead, thinking that it would be their turn to change shifts soon. A little joy surged in their hearts, and they ignored the unusual breeze.
